I first met Manuel in 2002 and occasionally met him once in a while and was saddened to read his passing on facebook today. I used to ask Manuel for advice about restoring car bodywork and engine and he was always happy to give me advice. My thoughts are with his family whom I have never met and Manuel was a guy with positive vibe, RIP mate.

To Manuel Family,
I only known Manuel for a stort time. first time I met him, I was working at Sea Ray Boats. I thought of him as being a person with such wonderful personality and so frindly to many.
Just about 2 week ago I came to visit him at his home in Palm Coast, he was outside doing what he love most. He was testing two shades of red that he wanted to paint for his motorbike. He really had a love talking about doing that kind of work. He's a joy to sign with, and I'm deeply saden to hear what happen. I found out the news to late, to be there for Manuel's family to support them too.
My Thoughts Are With You Manuel.

To the family,
Although no words can really help to ease the loss you bear, just know that you are very close in every thought and prayer.
Manuel, What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget. I bet, Heaven's beautiful.
Thinking of you,
The McFee's

Dear Manuel's Family.
Manuel was a big blessing in our family's life. When he came over to spend time with us he always had a big smile on his face. During the summer when the New york Yankees were playing and the game was being televised he sat down with me and watched the game. In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always. Love Junior,Danielle and family.
